Actress Morena Baccarin is about to invade the planet earth. She has been cast in a lead role on ABC’s upcoming remake of the 1980s invasion series V, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Baccarin played the Ori leader Adria in the tenth season of Stargate SG-1, and in the DVD movie Stargate: The Ark of Truth — which will make its U.S. television premiere in just a few weeks.

She is so incredibly beautiful.

My fav is her character Inara in Joss Whedon’s “Firefly” the series and “Serenity” the movie. When she and the captain played by Nathan Fillion got together, sparks ignited. I thoroughly enjoyed the repartee between them. I loved the series and the movie. I hurt when Zoe lost Wash and Shepherd Book died a terrible death. Finally, Kaylee and Simon could view the reruns anytime again. Jayne the mercenary kept me laughing.

V was crazy! I remember so well the first time you see what they are really like and that woman opens wide to eat the mouse/rat and I went holy cow!

[Young Werther]

It's the eyes! the Lips and the elegant long neck...and all that other stuff comes in the package!

Should I tell??

[sinanju]

Don’t tell me, let me guess...

Is this going to be like the new “Battlestar Galactica”?

Are the Aliens going to be the good guys?

I was a premie and was in Jr. High when that show came out. So we all had to bring our baby pictures and mine with being an abnormal premie in that day (1972) was really weird looking compared to the plump little babies surrounding my picture on the wall. I was voted “Most likely to have come from V”.

... yeah, I just watched Big Bang Theory...

Space Nazis..

Now, all we need is Nathan Fillion in Marc Singer’s old role, Jewel Staite in Faye Grant’s old role. . (grin)

[goodolemr]

Ah space nazis, I can dig it... but sci fi doesn’t do well on network tv.

[Tanniker Smith]

Well, I hope they fix the ending of the miniseries. It sucked. The book adaptation made more sense, but was much less spectacular. Need to find a middle ground.

Ironically, the character Adria was born and force-grown in an episode or two. "V" had the star-child do something similar, although that was involuntary.

[KevinDavis]

The ending went away from the original premise big time.

[KevinDavis]

Well every time she was on the set of SG1 the guys tended to pay “extra” attention to her..

[fnord]

and to think, she was just the third most attractive gal on Firefly ...

I loved V when I was a kid!! I hope it is a good remake like BSG.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

It will lack Mark Singer in the lead role. That has to be an improvement.
